Article in Biomedica : revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Brucellosis is the most common zoonosis in the world, with Brucella melitensis being the main isolated species. Despite this, only two cases of infection by this pathogen have been described in Colombia, none of them with osteoarticular involvement. We describe three cases of B. melitensis infection that debuted with spondylodiscitis, arthritis and myelitis, respectively, managed with combined antibiotic therapy and associated with surgical treatment, achieving clinical cure. This highlights the presence of B. melitensis in Colombia and raises the possibility of underdiagnosis of a species that before 2020 was considered absent in the country.
